Great Deal

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024

Great Radios. Very easy to program. Nice bigger screen than previous versions.
Can "Capture" frequencies that are in use near you. VERY useful and important for an emergency situation.
Comes with EVERYTHING you need..
3 antennas from pretty long to a nice stubby antenna that make the radios look sleek.
Charging Base is very convenient. Comes with earpieces and external mic.
Extremely happy with my purchase I purchased them TWICE!

Excellent Value for Ham Radio Enthusiasts

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024

The BAOFENG 5RM Ham Radio set is a great deal for anyone looking to get into ham radio or just need reliable communication. The 10W long-range capability provides solid coverage, and the NOAA weather receiver is a great addition for emergencies. The 2500mAh battery offers long-lasting use, and the included programming cable, speaker mic, and Type-C charging make it super convenient. A solid purchase for anyone in need of a budget-friendly yet high-performance radio.

It seems pretty capable, but it has issues & the instructions are poor

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024

The general quality of the radio seemed good at first. Construction seemed rugged. But after plugging in the external mic a few times, the built in speaker stopped working on both of these. Apparently the internal parts are more "dainty". The radio has a lot of functions, but it's hard to take advantage of them because the instruction booklet that comes with it gives very little information. A few random ham frequencies were programmed into this when it arrived. There were no GMRS channels programmed. The NOAA weather reception did work right out of the box. Reception quality of NOAA stations on this radio was better than on a UV-5R, using the exact same antenna, except for one little oddity. If I tune to an air band (AM) frequency in VFO mode and then switch to a NOAA station, reception is terrible. If I switch back to VFO & select an FM frequency, then change back to NOAA, then reception is very good again. Apparently having an AM frequency selected in VFO mode changes something in the FM receiver functionality.

This radio receives common aircraft voice frequencies in AM. It transmits clearly on marine VHF channels. The GMRS/FRS frequencies work tx/rx, but it is unclear to me if this is certified for GMRS use. Reception quality is generally good. This radio is physically lager than a UV-5R. It does not appear to be at all waterproof. As I said before the mic/speaker connections have proven to be fragile on both of mine. If you want to use this with the internal speaker, it may be best that you don't ever plug in an external one nor the included programming cable. Batteries are not interchangeable with the older UV-5R radio. This radio does have an FCC ID number on its label. The antennas that come with it are not well tuned for GMRS frequencies. They are tuned for ham frequencies. Even after changing the parameters to keep the screen backlit 100% of the time, the battery life on the 5RM is at least as good as a UV-5R with a factory original battery.

Update - Amazon agreed to replace the two radios with failed internal audio. I tested one of the new ones by plugging in an external speaker several times. So far, so good. The only real difference this time is that I made sure that power was off before plugging or unplugging the K1 connector. The instructions don't say that this is needed, but since both of the original radios developed a problem when the external speaker was plugged in with power on, it seemed prudent to try it the other way. I do not have an appetite for destructive testing just to confirm my suspicion, so I am not going to hot swap the external speakers on the new radios. My rating just got bumped up to 4 stars from 3. Thank you for the replacement. To the seller: Please consider an update to the instruction book if you believe it is appropriate.

Budget friendly, Great Radios

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024

I have been using this radio for about two weeks now, main use is GMRS. I have had no issues, and programming using chirp is simple. Via repeaters in my area I am getting great coverage.

Great Value Package

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024

This radio works well and is a fantastic value, given all the features and options, like USB charging and a large battery. It doesn't have any digital radio features, but then I wasn't interested in going digital, especially since the digital modes are constantly changing and no one standard is guaranteed to be the "final" winner.

These radios are very easy to program. I tried both CHIRP and the free software provided with the package. ONE CAUTION: I initially had trouble getting the radios to communicate with the software. The problem is that you've got to look close when you plug the two-prong cable into the radio. It's easy not to get both fully pushed in. You've got to give it a good shove. You've also got to select the correct com port in the software. There are only a few options, so it's easiest to just try each until one works.

These radios don't put out a full 10 watts, it was closer to 7 on most bands, but that's still quite respectable.

The package comes with 3 antennas. The shortest one is almost useless except for very short-range communications. In most circumstances you'll want to use the longest one.

Some reviewers have complained that the display is hard to read in the sunlight. The color screen is like your cell phone screen, and indeed it is harder, but not impossible to read. If you go into the menus, they use red lettering which is much harder to read, especially in sunlight. But this wasn't a deal killer for me.

Great Quality

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024

The item (walkie talkies) works great and they are amazing quality. U can program them using a bunch of different programs but I used Chirp. They work well and come with all great accessories including different antennas and mics.

TBH, it's actually pretty good NGL

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024

Besides the fairly mediocre LCD display, for a <30 dollar radio it is actually really good.
Plus if you lend it out, lose it, or beat it up on a hiking or POTA/SOTA trip, it's no biggie.
Alright, onto the features. I have mine currently hooked up to a 5'8" VHF/UHF omnidirectional monopole with ground plane radials on my roof, and it ROCKS. It has a perfect swr ratio on my antenna on the 144mhz range. Also, it actually puts out about 10.45 watts according to the good ol' surecom swr/power meter. If you are a beginner or a even a seasoned ham, just get it. Even if you have nicer radios, at the end of the day it can't hurt to expand your HT farm, especially with how cheap these are. Basically a uv5r on steroids. Also, you can listen to air band am which is a fun plus. And BTW, works great with the digirig mobile and uv5r cables for fldigi/flarq/flrig. Managed to send some large (non copyright) poems to myself.
